Avğan, Utku
A fuzzy logic control algorithm for self parking of a model car has been developed and an embedded controller hardware has been designed, manufactured and programmed to control parking maneuvers of a model car within the scope of this thesis study. The model car chassis consists of a DC motor actuated traction system and a servomotor actuated steering mechanism. Position data and parking place data is obtained by a sensory system. A stepper motor driven rotary table is designed and assembled to the model car chassis for positioning of the sensory system. The controller hardware includes all the required peripherals for interfacing to the motors and sensory system. A visual computer program running in PC environment is developed in order to simulate the control characteristics of the fuzzy logic algorithm. The program allows the user to generate fuzzy sets and fuzzy set members and allows the user to define membership functions and fuzzy rules. Once an appropriate control characteristic is obtained, all the parameters can be exported to a file in order to be downloaded to the controller.

In this study, the Dual Beam Phased Array Antenna System designed for COST260* project is upgraded to have the abilities of beam steering, tracking and direction finding by providing the necessary computer codes using C++ Programming Language. The functions of new prototype are tested to verify the operation. *COST260 project was an adaptive phased array receiving antenna system for satellite communication, which was operating at 11.49-11.678 GHz band.
Design and simulation of an integrated active yaw control system for road vehicles
Tekin, Goekhan; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim (2010-01-01)
In this paper, design methodology and simulation results of an active yaw control system For road vehicles arc presented. The main objectives of the yaw control system arc to estimate the desired yaw behaviour of file vehicle according to the demand of file driver by means of a two degree-of-freedom vehicle model and track this desired yaw rate while considering vehicle steerability parameters. Based on vehicle yaw rate error and vehicle sideslip angle, the controller system applies brake torques to individ...
Design and simulation of an ABS for an integrated active safety system for road vehicles
Sahin, Murat; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim (2010-01-01)
A design methodology for an anti-lock braking system (ABS) controller for four-wheeled road vehicles is presented. In the study, a flexible approach was adopted considering integration with an integrated active safety system control structure. In the hierarchical control strategy proposed for the ABS controller, a high-level controller, through vehicle longitudinal acceleration-based estimation, determines reference wheel slip values, and a low-level controller attempts to track these reference slip signals...

Akova, Hayrettin Ulaş; Platin, Bülent Emre; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
In this thesis, an electro-hydraulic load simulator is designed, constructed, and controlled in order to carry out the stability and performance tests of newly developed hydraulic drive and control systems. It is an experimental loading system capable of applying the desired test loads onto the actuator of the hydraulic drive system under test in a laboratory environment. The primary aim of this study is to support the research activities related to the development of hydraulic drive and control systems so ...
Structural crashworthiness analysis of a ladder frame chassis subjected to full frontal and pole side impacts

Automobile chassis is a major element of structural crashworthiness in road motor vehicles. Various chassis geometry and topology research studies have been conducted to improve crash energy absorption characteristics of the chassis. In side impacts, crashworthiness of an automobile body depends not only on the chassis geometry and topology, but also on the design and reliability of other structural members such as B-pillar and side panels. This study aims to contribute to the investigations on the effects ...
